Which actor played neurologist Eric Foreman throughout House M.D.?

Omar Epps played neurologist Eric Foreman throughout House M.D.

Eric Foreman is one of Gregory House’s original diagnostic fellows and a neurologist. He is often more cautious and institutionally minded than House, but he also possesses the technical skill and confidence needed to challenge House’s conclusions. Their disagreements become an important part of the team’s dynamic.

Omar Epps portrayed Foreman across the series, from the 2004 premiere through the 2012 finale. Foreman’s career develops during the show: he moves from fellow to leadership positions and eventually becomes closely connected with Princeton-Plainsboro’s administration and diagnostic work.

Viewers sometimes confuse Epps with Kal Penn, who joined the show later as Lawrence Kutner, or with Michael Weston, who played private investigator Lucas Douglas. Epps is the actor specifically associated with Eric Foreman, the neurologist from the original team.
